Plopped down? It's just lying there in a bowel. Reminds me of Temple of Doom & monkey brains. How about those big beetles that they were eating the guts out of? Yummy.

  • 1886 - Just as he reaches the ball on a long hit by Jimmy Wolf, Reds center fielder Abner Powell's pants are grabbed by a stray dog. Wolf circles the bases with the homer that wins the game for Louisville 5-3 in eleven innings.

  • 1917 - Pittsburgh's Carson Bigbee set a major-league record � since tied � with 11 at-bats in a 22-inning game against Brooklyn. Pirate Elmer Jacobs pitched 16 2/3 innings in relief. The game was also the fourth consecutive extra-inning game by the Pirates for a total of 59 innings, a National League record.

  • 1926 - After three games with the Tigers are rained out at home, Connie Mack and Tom Shibe get a court injunction and play the first Sunday game ever seen in Philadelphia. A light rain holds the crowd to 10,000 while Lefty Grove defeats the White Sox 3-2. A court later rules that Sunday baseball is still illegal; it will be 1934 before the law changes in Philadelphia.

  • 1933 - William Veeck, president of the Chicago Cubs, urges a midsummer series of interleague games. He also proposes a split season. While some owners are in agreement on interleague play, Washington owner Clark Griffith opposes it.

  • 1934 - Pitcher Wes Ferrell hit two home runs to give the Boston Red Sox a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox in 12 innings. Trailing 2-1, Ferrell hit a home run in the eighth inning to tie the score and with two out in the 12th, Ferrell connected again for the game-winner.

  • 1946 - Clubs approve a change to a 168-game schedule, but they will rescind the decision at another meeting September 16. Television is first recognized, with clubs given rights to their own games. Players jumping to outlaw leagues will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement for five years.

  • 1961 - Roger Maris becomes the first player to hit his 50th home run in the month of August, as the Yankees lose to the Angels 4-3.

  • 1965 - San Francisco's Juan Marichal, batting against Los Angeles' Sandy Koufax, complains that catcher Johnny Roseboro's return throws are too close. He then turns and attacks Roseboro with his bat. A 14-minute brawl ensues before Koufax, Willie Mays, and other peacemakers can restore order. Roseboro suffers a considerable cut on the head. Juan Marichal is suspended eight playing days and levied a National League-record $1,750 fine.

  • 1984 - New York Mets right-hander Dwight Gooden, at 19, fanned nine San Diego Padres to become the 11th rookie to strike out 200 batters in one season.

  • 1989 - Nolan Ryan strikes out Rickey Henderson in the fifth inning of a 2-0 loss to Oakland to become the first pitcher in major league history to strike out 5,000 batters.

No shame in going 7-3 over the last 10 games. Other teams are hot and you can only control what you can control.

The only thing that the Braves should be upset with is the timing of the AS Game. They went from 6/12-7/9 only losing 4 games. 3 of the losses were by a single run and 2 of them were in extra innings. Come out the the AS break and lose 4 out of 5. Not our fault the Dodgers are 25-9 in the 2nd half.
